Left click on free download, then continue to download. Wait............it takes time.

Click on Next, unpack...................wait..................it takes time.
Click on Preparing to install-- Next-- I accept.
Click on Next--type in a user name (whatever you want)-- complete
Click on Next-- leave boxes unchecked--Next--install-- Finish. Exit that program.
Look for the Open Office icon on your Desktop. That shows you have installed it.
